I have a question for network experts?
I have two Moussaka routers here. both fairly new. N-50 and N-150 as I recall.
Do these routers "Ping" a web site to see if they are connected to the net?
The reason I ask is this.. Often I will see a good connection to the park router I have an IP address via DHCP, but the light is orange and it won't let me past the gateway.
My older Hawking, IF I had an IP address, I had a "Green Light" as it were (Blue for Belkin) and everything worked.. but these Belkin jobs seem to want more.
(Thinking of getting another hawking).
